I have 220 AHs, only because it fits my liking to charging approx. 2 hrs per day. I could possibly do it on one battery, but would push the limits on the 50% discharge rule.
I could have 4 batteries, and charge 4 hrs every other day, but I don't like the weight and maintaining and burning up 2 more batts every 6-10 yrs. If I wanted to bank some solar for those cloudy rainy days, I should have 6 or 8 batteries, but I don't like the trade off. Each to their own.
RJsfishin,
It DOES matter, since I'm trying to "right size" my rig for better boon docking opportunities that allows me the MOST time on the batteries with running the generator the LEAST. From the inputs already provided, I is proving my hypothesis that more AHs with limited use means less generator run time and that solar will only help even more.
I believe in learning from others, vs learning from the school of hard knocks. Better to learn from those who have gone before me...and I like the input from those more experienced with the boon docking and battery usage.
Thanks
